Pros

Great team spirit, great pay, chance to move around the country and take your job with you.

Cons

If your face doesn't fit and you don't conform to brown nosing then you have nearly no chance at progressing in this business. If you work all the hours under the sun to prove yourself it will still go unnoticed. You can't trust any senior manager as they will divulge everything upwards, downwards and sideways. Get given false hope of progression for it never to materialise.

Pros

+ industry leading wages Associates - $12/hr, Shift Mgr - $16/hr, SMT - $23/hr, Store Manager - $75,000+/yr + great work environment + excellent training + health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401k + 40-50 hr/wk with paid overtime Very fast paced so work hours fly by. I loved working at Aldi. The pay was great! Benefits great! Was training to be a store manager so a lot was expected of me but I was totally up for it. My store manager loved my work, associates loved my fairness, customers loved me.

Cons

+ work/life balance + walked 28,000 steps/day!!! Never thought I would be fired for clocking in only minutes late!!
